CURRENT MISSION

I would like to meet all sorts of people!

ABOUT ME

Sociable, happy, really love my two children. Very interested in people. Nothing I like better than to have a deep conversation over a glass of wine/beer or two or three.

PHILOSOPHY

Love generously. Live in the moment. Resolve conflicts immediately. You only live once so make the most of it but don't sweat it too much!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some lovely people but have yet to be a surfer myself. As a single person it is nice to stay with people who offer more than just a room for the night, but have the potential to become friends.

兴趣

People are my main focus in life. I'm always learning about life and how to make it more interesting and enjoyable. Mostly I am interested in the way our thoughts shape our experience of life and how no matter what our external reality is, it is our internal reality that really matters.
